HEALTH SCREENING
Genetic Testing
Genetic testing is a powerful tool for understanding your health risks and proactively managing your wellbeing.
MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS
Understanding your genetic risk factors can empower you to make informed decisions about your health, whether it’s taking preventive measures, making lifestyle changes, or exploring treatment options. With our tailored approach, we ensure you receive the right support to turn your results into a proactive health plan.
Comprehensive Genetic Testing
We offer a variety of genetic tests, including both Trucheck Intelli™ and traditional testing for hereditary conditions.
Whether you’re looking to assess your risk for specific cancers or other genetic diseases, our tests provide valuable insights into your genetic makeup. We commonly test for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2), helping you understand your risk and plan ahead with confidence.
Trucheck Intelli™
For adults aged 50 and over, cancer screening is vital to early detection, effective treatment and better outcomes. Regular screenings help ensure any potential issues are caught before they become serious, keeping you in control of your health as you look forward to an active and fulfilling retirement.
Personalised GP Support
Genetic testing can raise complex questions, but you’re not alone. Our private GPs are here to guide you through the entire process, from understanding your test options to interpreting the results. We’ll provide clear, compassionate advice to help you understand what your results mean for your health and any next steps you might want to take.
Genetic Counselling
As part of our personalised care, we offer genetic counselling with your GP before any testing is carried out. We'll help you choose the most appropriate test based on your needs and family history, and ensure it’s the right course of action for you. After your results, we’re here to support you fully - offering clear guidance and, if needed, referrals to leading specialists in their field.
